Please forgive this off-topic post, but I want to ask list members to
please consider making a donation to the American Red Cross to aid
victims of Hurricane Katrina. The focus on the fact that the eye did
not hit New Orleans has created an unreal initial perception that the
area was spared. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The
devastation that has befallen the southern Mississippi region is now
starting to become apparent, New Orleans continues to fill with water
-- water that will have nowhere to go for weeks if not months -- and
broken gas lines are causing fires in urban areas. Vast numbers of
people are in dire immediate need of food, water, clothing, and
medical and other supplies, and will be subject to heat, deprivation,
and disease for a considerable time to come.
